Just curious if anyone has used Quickload for the 6.5SS. I ask because I'm a pretty novice user of QL and the numbers I am seeing just don't seem possible. I went through and "built" a new case using the 6.5 RSAUM as the base and changed all the specs to match a fired case, Norma brass. It calculated that I should have 70.49 gr of H2O when I actually have 71.1, so pretty close. Fyi, I used both numbers and my predicted velocity did not change at all. When I put in the bullet/powder (147 eld-m/58.0gr RE26) it says I should have a velocity of 2928 and have a psi of 56730. When I correct the ba (default of .3397 to .4180) to match my actual velocity, 3140, it says my psi is 86786. Brass just shows just a slightly flattened primer and a hint of an ejector mark but nothing major and no heavy lift. My question is, can I really be running that much pressure?
